As mentioned in yesterday's post, here are four more paintings whose formal elements diverge from other things that I'm working on. While these paintings look drastically different in style from some of my other recent works, the geometric aspects mirror my explorations of hard-edged, almost minimal paintings dating back ten years. The mirroring is where the similarities stop. In these new paintings, I've taken a new-found fascination that I have with geometric forms and placed them in more conventional figure-ground compositions. In addition, I'm also looking for engaging ways of handling formal relationships between colors, edges, surfaces, foreground/background, etc...
